| 40x40px | This template should always be substituted (i.e., use {{subst:Codenowiki}}). |
This template provides a speedy way to wrap template source code in <code> markup. To work correctly, it must be substituted.
<nowiki>...</nowiki></code>
Recommended use is:
{{subst:codenowiki |1=(code)}}
i.e. so that anything before an equals (=) sign in the code isn't intepreted as a parameter name.
Example
- Template:Plaincode ... outputs: ...
Here be code

Embedded substitution
If the template is transcluded rather than substituted on a page, its output can be corrected by re-saving the page, triggering the substitution embedded within it:
{{subst:Nowiki|Here be code}}
Limitations
This template does not work with signatures. Typing {{subst:codenowiki|~~~~}} results in displaying your full signature’s code.
